Couldn't agree more, I keep thinking that all those "storms" we had in Calif were really more hurricane'ish then they let on and they never closed schools or went into a tizzy like they are doing here! And try going thru Santa Ana winds for weeks at a time
I will however, head to Publix and get more "supplies" (darn you Mike and your Cheetos) and wait to put the patio back together.
Just keep reminding me not to be one of those complacent peeps.... yanno the one who says..... it aint gonna happen to me
Glad to hear you folks are all doing OK. My boys and I left for home the day before Charley hit and I felt SO awful for the lady who drove us to the airport. She was on the phone trying to get her elderly dad to come and stay with her (I think he was from around Panama City somewhere -- well quite a bit north of Tampa anyway) because "hurricanes NEVER come as far inland as Orlando". She would have been tons better off to have gone north and stay with him...
